    The second pic is one of my favorites that I've come across. I searched and found where the owner posted some of the specs on it too. If I ever go that route on my pickup, it will be a copy of this bed.

    Update on the truck:

    I went and got a cab yesterday. Cab was from a 02 2wd Tacoma with a windshield that was better than the broken one I had and a solid back window.

    I drove it out of the garage to put the new cab on. About an hour or two ago I bled the clutch and the brakes. Most of the interior is back in, put my old doors on (with some minor tweaking), put the fenders on with 2 bolts each to make it look like a truck again. Just need to get some fenders of the same years, hood, and all the lights that go with it. Oh and the tube for the exo and bed.

    It is now a Panda Taco. Skadooch!

    So what's your plan to address the holes in the fender from the snorkel if you get my fenders? Just curious.

    Cab looks good. I like the silver.

    I figured I'd take cut out a slightly bigger hole from my old fenders and weld it onto your fender. Oh and the cab is actually white.

    Tiny update:
    Got light housings for some 6" lights for my tail and back-up lights. Welded the boxes under my bumper and now I just need to get the tube and bender for the flat bed. Maybe even finish putting the dash back in.

    Chad let me know if you want the fenders and snorkel off my truck. or just the fenders. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing with my intake.

    I see your new cab and secretly wish my truck was white.
